Stocks to Buy in September 2017

Investors are always curious to know at the beginning of every month what stocks to buy in the month. They are looking to experts for credible stock tips/ stock recommendations. So I made it a practice to advise my audience what stocks in the month. Following the practice here I present the ideas for the best stocks to buy in September 2017.

This month I have liberalised the rules for buying stocks a bit.

Why?

The market is sizzling and making stocks highly expensive across the board, and if we don’t loosen a bit we will not be able to:

Buy anything

Do justice to some of the good stocks that had suffered price hammering in the global commodity markets.

I have also tightened the dividend yield criterion this month. I set a hurdle rate of a minimum 3.50% dividend yield. Only those stocks that surpass this hurdle will get allotment under this category.

We have set a liberalised yet strict rules such that besides being a member of our ‘Portfolio 2K15’, the stocks shall satisfy the four criteria prescribed below:

The Price to Book Value (P2BV) Ratio shall be less than 1.50. This means we will allocate money to a stock under this rule to only those stocks that are available at or at a discount to the price to book value ratio of 1.50. This is liberalization from a stringent 1.00 earlier.

The Price to Earnings (PE) Ratio shall be below 15. This is again liberalization from the tough hurdle of 10 earlier.

The product/ combination of PE*P2BV shall be less than 22.50 (1.5*15)

The Dividend Yield shall be more than 3.50%. However, a mere good dividend yield is not sufficient. In addition, the stock must have passed at least one of the three previous tests. Meaning if the share proves expensive under the P2BV, PE and PE*P2BV criteria, it is ineligible for allocation merely on the grounds of an attractive dividend yield.

The total investable sum is taken as multiples of 20,000, that is Rs.20,000, 40,000 or 120,000 and so on, depending on the investible surplus available with the investor.

The basic unit of 20,000 is equally distributed among the four criteria at Rs.5,000 each or multiples thereof.
